How I work
Better to practice silence than to preach bla bla
Leaders are more effective when they strive for a positive
and meaningful impact on people and the environment around them.
Reducing our ego helps us to increase the positive impact of our leadership.
These beliefs I truly ‘live’, but leadership is about what you practice rather than what you say.
Mutual commitment
I have a strong commitment to get real results in terms of improved leadership.
I enjoy working with leaders who have the same commitment.
Clear and authentic
We work together on real leadership challenges. I observe and give feedback in clear language. No corporate jargon.
Experiential learning
We don’t learn and grow by talking sessions only.
Experiential learning is about doing, practicing, and experiencing.
We work on real business issues together. We go outside, we move, out of comfort.
Slow pace and small scale
Leaders and top teams work at high speed, day in, day out.
I slow you down to reflect and really learn.
I work small-scale: dedicated to a few individual leaders and teams only.
Networked
I work with a global network of like-minded coaches, facilitators, teachers and specialists in experiential learning.
About me

I have worked in very different settings: listed companies, partnerships, private equity, cooperative ownership.
My client base is very diverse in terms of industry, size and ownership structure.
I am a psychologist in business. I hold a MSc in psychology, including intensive training in coaching and counselling. I apply social and clinical psychology in my work.
